Psalms 31:9-13

9Be gracious to me, Lord, because I am in distress; my eyes are worn out from frustration — my whole being as well.

10Indeed, my life is consumed with grief and my years with groaning; my strength has failed because of my iniquity, and my bones waste away.

11I am ridiculed by all my adversaries and even by my neighbors. I am dreaded by my acquaintances; those who see me in the street run from me.

12I am forgotten: gone from memory like a dead person — like broken pottery.

13I have heard the gossip of many; terror is on every side. When they conspired against me, they plotted to take my life.
